They are blaming the counties citizens for voting down the bond. Let them play in Tampa, Good Riddance. Let the owners/players millionaires pay for it. They use it and hate the citizens that live there so bye bye.

2nd lowest attendance in the league(2024)

Yo baseball team, build your stadium and pay for it yourself.

[@joncena168]

It’s an awful spot in st Pete. We need a place with better parking

[@chottozumi]

And, I'm sure you've seen concept renderings. I noticed the thing has NO PARKING area nearby. Or, maybe they are water-proofed underground area for maybe 10,000 cars😛😛 or, up on top of the dome---super, duper high-tech, I tell you!!😂😂 💪💪Great architects, I must say!

[@greenbeagle13]

I feel sad for the common folks who will be impacted negatively...., but I do not understand why billionaires can't build (or repair) a stadium where millionaires play a game. I will never understand why taxpayers have to foot the bill.

[@irwinsaltzman979]

The owners have better lawyers and highly paid PR people. Not only do tax payers pay for the construction and fund the bonds, they also pay for repairs to a building that is fully owned by the billionaire. It’s a win win for the owner of the team. And tax payers also pay for road improvements( access) etc.

2023 - Rays finished with the best record in the AL. They host the Rangers in the playoffs. Attendance ? 17,000. This team has no fan base and is a drain on resources.

[@nailingit73]

I've been saying it, get the Rays out of St. Pete

[@fredk9999]

That’s right. The impact always is to workers and concessionaires. Still, need to win games here, there, wherever

[@ckarlgo]

Maybe orange trumpy can come throw paper towels at the unemployed workers.

[@SKS8080]

Oh there’s a whiny liberal.

[@subicstationditosailor4053]

Just go.....

[@lukebogacik2793]

Hope it works out 🙏🏻

[@gerrylee1687]

Tampa is a democrat run city

[@chottozumi]

So, the Rays' multimillionaire owners can get anything and everything paid for by taxpayers! 20% sales tax in the near future??

[@oiler62]

That's one good thing about it at least

[@freshprince130]

Good thing Drumpfs gonna fix it for em 😂😂😂😂

[@carrolabrams2659]

Rays outta St Pete - could have-And should have- stayed … moral of story… Where is FEMA! 🏟️🏝️🏠
